Roberts earns degree from UC Merced

Angela Roberts graduated with high honors from the University of California Merced in May 2023 with a BA in sociology and a minor in psychology.

Angela is the great-granddaughter of the late Lesa and Jesse Roberts. Angela has received the prestigious Eugene Cota-Robles Fellowship and will enter the Ph.D. program in Interdisciplinary Humanities at UC Merced in Fall 2023.

She plans to conduct research surrounding Choctaw Cultural Revitalization in California. Her future goals also include conducting this research with the Choctaw Nation.

Angela would like to thank her ancestors for their guidance and the Choctaw Nation for offering much of the funding she has used to pay for her education. Yakoke!
